The sun, which appeared and disappeared in the clouds, just passed overhead and moved westward.
Qin Liang, together with Wang Jinhu, Wen Qin, Yang Wei and other generals, as well as subordinate officials, marched to Luoyang with an army of more than 30,000 people and some prisoners of the Luoyang army!
Wang Feixiao and Linghuyu are still behind to clean up the mess. They will then transfer the ships from Luoyang Dongcheng to the Yishui River through the Yang Canal, and transport the armor, weapons, baggage and other items of the Luoyang army back to the city.
There is a pontoon bridge on the Luoshui River. At this time, even the pontoon bridge was not burned down, so everyone did not have to build a new bridge.
Viewed from a distance, the Jinyang Gate on the west side and the Pingchang Gate on the east side are closed. Only the Xuanyang Gate, the south gate, is open.
There were many people waiting outside Xuanyang Gate. It was obvious that those people were there to welcome King Qin's army, and it was impossible for them to resist.
In the Battle of Yique Pass, Sima Yi obviously mobilized most of the available troops and horses near Luoyang. Now that Sima Yi's army had been disarmed, Luoyang officials were so confused that they tried to defend the city, but no one helped him.
The sunlight above his head was not strong, but it was a bit dazzling. Qin Liang squinted his eyes slightly and sat on the horse while watching Xuanyang Gate. He suddenly had an impulse and really wanted to shout: Luoyang, I'm back again!
The outline of the Xuanyangmen gate tower is mainly straight lines, which remain simple and simple, and the towers on both sides are magnificent.
Qin Liang had been away from Luoyang for nearly a year since he came back to pick up the Queen Mother Guo last year. At this time, he looked around and felt that the scene in Luoyang was similar to last year, but it seemed that something was different.
Maybe it's just that my mood is different.
As soon as Qin Liang arrived at the pontoon, he turned around and glanced at the people around him, and signaled Pan Zhong, the commander of the first unit of the military camp. Pan Zhong came close to him and clasped his fists in greeting.
"After entering the city, General Pan first divided his troops to surround Sima Yi's mansion, and separated the private soldiers and slaves inside for custody." Qin Liang explained in a deep voice.
Pan Zhong said: "Here!"
Qin Liang turned to Yinci and said, "You will then take people to Sima Mansion to check who is there and who has escaped."
Yinci also bowed: "Here!"
In the morning, before the battle was over, Sima Yi should have taken his men and fled in advance. Therefore, if the Sima family wanted to run away, they would naturally be able to do so.
However, the Sima family, who have lost their power, have no place in Wei State, unless they can once again instigate the local princes and kings. People from such a ruling family should go directly to foreign countries if they want to escape. Let alone the Sima family.
, Qin Liang’s original plan was also to go to Shu or Wu.
After crossing the pontoon bridge, there were no soldiers or horses at the gate of the city. They were all officials wearing official uniforms and robes.
Qin Liang dismounted from a distance, and the generals and officers around him also dismounted, and everyone walked forward.
Qin Liang did not want to be like Dong Zhuo, and the situation in Wei was not that of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. But in any case, it is obviously not a good thing to rush to make enemies of the Manchu officials and the nobles and nobles in the world. If you rely solely on force to suppress |
kind of problem.
After the people on both sides approached, all the officials bowed to each other and said in a messy voice: "We are waiting here, just waiting for the arrival of General Qin." Some even called him "Qin Gong" and "Ming Gong".
Qin Liang was only in his twenties and felt that he was a bit old for being a man, but it was an honorific title, so he just accepted it with a smile on his face and bowed to everyone in return.
The attitude of fighting for life and death this morning suddenly seemed to be one of his own again, which made Qin Liang feel a bit ridiculous.
Suddenly someone said loudly: "If there were no Duke Qin in the world, our country, the Wei Dynasty, would be ruined! Duke Qin is truly the most loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty."
Everyone looked sideways, Qin Liang also followed the sound and saw that he was a young man of a very young age, with a long and angular face, but he was someone he didn't recognize.
At this time, Gao Rou, who was in front, said in a deep voice: "Jia Chong, the son of Jia Liangdao."
When Qin Liang heard this, he suddenly realized that Jia Liangdao was Jia Kui, one of the founding heroes of Cao Wei and very famous in Wei. Moreover, Sima Yi, Wang Ling, and Jia Kui should have been close friends back then.
The relationship is roughly like this: when there was chaos in Bingzhou, the nobles from Taiyuan County would take refuge in Hedong County, which is how Wang Ling went to Hedong County; and Hanoi County and Hedong County were very close, and Sima Yi knew Jia Kui from Hedong. So,
Jia Kui, a native of Hedong, became the introducer, and this was how the friendship between Sima Yi and Wang Ling began.
Jia Chong seemed to have been a subordinate officer of Sima Shi. At this time, he insisted on complimenting him in public. It felt that Jia Chong was not just a subordinate official.
But when Qin Liang was serving as an official of Cao Shuang, he was in panic all day long when he predicted his fate. He reflected on his feelings and realized that if fear lasted for a long time, it would turn into hatred!
So Qin Liang, regardless of how he wanted to treat Jia Chong in the future, casually reassured him: "Jia Liangdao is a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty and a close friend of the king's governor."
After hearing this, Jia Chong's eyes showed some hope.
When everyone heard Qin Liang's words, they immediately started whispering to each other again. They seemed to think that Qin Liang was a person who could negotiate, and there was something to be said for him!
Even Gao Rou quickly defended: "No one knew about Sima Zhongda's conspiracy before he killed everyone in the general's palace."
Qin Liang did not comment and corrected him softly: "We are waiting for King Qin mainly because of Sima Yi's rebellion. Attacking Simamen, seizing the arsenal, launching an army, and everyone in the world is watching. Isn't this rebellion?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Qin Liang smiled at Gao Rou at this moment and said, "Will the Tingwei Mansion still share accounts with the School Affairs Office?"
Gao Rou suddenly showed a forced smile: "It seems to be the same as before, but I am no longer a court lieutenant."
Sikong Jiang Ji also said: "General Qin really uses his troops like a god, and we admire him very much."
Qin Liang didn't know Jia Chong, but he knew these high officials, because every time they were present at court or other gatherings, they would stand in different positions, making it easy for others to notice them.
Seeing Jiang Ji, Qin Liang immediately thought of Hu Zhi. Hu Zhi was still in Qingxu, commanding the armies of the two states! And Hu Zhi's official career followed the path of his fellow countryman Jiang Ji.
If Jiang Ji were suddenly arrested in Luoyang, would Hu Zhi be able to sleep?
There is also Shi Bao, the governor of Xuzhou, who has now led his army to Qiao County. Shi Bao is not in danger now, but if he messes around and finds another place to work with the king, the civil war will never end!
Qin Liang knew very well that the most important thing at this time was to quickly stabilize the situation and not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of it. If someone must raise troops to create a general in the future, they cannot be allowed to do it together and must be defeated separately.
So Qin Liang paid extra attention to Jiang Ji and stood there and said, "I heard that after Sima Yi killed Cao Zhaobo's family, Duke Jiang declined the reward and felt very guilty."
Jiang Ji nodded quickly, and then sighed: "Sima Zhongda swore by Luoshui, how many people would not believe it?"
"Let's talk in detail later." Qin Liang said with a smile, "Let's go to the city first."
After Qin Liang said that, he looked north again carefully. First, he casually took a look at who was coming, and then he could also ask the people present in detail. As long as the people who came to the city gate today to greet them, at least subjectively, they wanted to switch to the front.
He was not willing to be buried by the Sima family.
When the reckoning comes, get rid of the Sima clan first, and then the diehard loyalists. Although the remaining wallflowers are also hateful, at least they are not that big of a threat. Likes and dislikes are not the important point, hidden dangers are!
Everyone said one after another: "General Qin, please!"
Qin Liang turned to look at the generals around him and winked. The specific positions of the troops had been arranged in advance. As soon as the generals entered the city, they should rush to their respective places.
